MP shouldn't figure into a games score anyway. There should be a seperate score for MP. Why? There are still some who get games for the SP only. Personally, scores do not figure into wether I get a game or not, but, for some they do (a lot). If a game scores a nine, but 3-5 points of that are based off MP then that is very misleading for the overall game. Face it, most who play mostly to all MP will get anything that states "network players" on the back anyway. Games should mainly be about the SP experience. If the devs want to tack on MP as a little "here ya go" fine, but, too often anymore it seems to be the other way around.

I got this game the day it came out and i've beat the game twice .. but can someone tell me why i'm losing interest in the game so quickly? I thought this would be a game I would play over and over again .. I mean I really loved everything about it from graphics to gameplay .. don't get me wrong .. i'm still playing it everyday .. i just don't think i will for much longer (also kinda disapointed in the multiplayer even though i loved the online demo)

@ThePowerfulDarknell
True .. but crysis 2, out of all FPS games has a completely different control scheme unlike any other game (with the suit abilities and what not) - I feel like if i give it a break its gonna take me a while to get used to again (since I play Halo alot too - which for some reason doesn't get old) .. whatever, maybe I am overplaying it ..

So I went out and bought this game today because it was rated as a 9 from IGN and it was a shooter. The campaign was fun for the first couple of hours, but I eventually found myself simply cloaking myself and running through the campaign just to get it done and over with during my final hours. I grew increasingly bored with the story which is what I play most games for but I'm normally not that hard to please, I mean, I even very much enjoy all of the Call of Duty messes of story lines, but this one I never even made it through, I didn't understand it, I couldn't follow it, so I simply started playing it just to beat it. The game in itself was not bad, I really did enjoy all of the different commands you can put your player through, it was an innovative design that I haven't experienced through any other game. But I do believe that the game could have done so much better if they had attempted to put a true story together.

I'm about to finish this one, and I gotta disagree with Scattcatt14. This isn't the greatest story told in a video game, and the writing is a long way from winning an award, but it's a good story told perfectly well. This is a much more coherent a story than Call of Duty's stories, which the single player campaigns I pretty much play to get to the next cool set piece.

The game itself is phenominal too. It's great to see that Halo isn't the only shooter franchise with great multiplayer that has a good single player as well.

The stealth is fun. I'm early in the game but I just went from a parking garage to a crash site and explored in between, without firing a single shot. I also was close enough to a number of the enemies to melee them so it wasn't like I stayed away from everyone.

Those that, and I quote, "don't get it" just aren't sophisticated/smart enough and didn't play the first game. If you want a run and gun stick with the boring crap that is churned out at least once a year by every major publisher without thought (most notably battlefield but also COD). This game (and the review more so) are just about perfect. The game makes you think, and while unpolished, is still a fun time. I feel that this game focused more on a deadline and multi-player than it did on its single player and that's a crime. The only complaint is that crytek and w/e should have spent more time with the AI, there is nothing more annoying than watch an AI player walk repeatedly into the wall/obj/fellow soldier than anything else. The game itself is absolutely beautiful and you'd be a moron to pass on this. It will grow on you and if it doesn't then you just don't want to think. Check out the original though as it will teach you to appreciate the second that much more (if you can buy/build a PC that can handle it lol). I feel sorry for those who miss out on these amazing games for another round of brain dead BF/COD with different skins/weapons every year (madden/NBA/NFL/Golf/Boxing anyone??) this is a unique and truly inspiring title).

I think it had the chance to be the best looking console game but it has a very prominent grain filter.I f**king hate grain filters in video games. Hey Crytek, at least let me have the option to turn it off! But the game itself is stellar. My copies of COD, Killzone and Halo are now collecting dust

I've enjoyed this game a lot. The campaign has been great so far and despite the criticism of the first few hours, I have had a blast throughout the whole thing. I like that it's not a sandbox, but that the levels are big enough to give you plenty of tactical options. I really feel like I can play any way that I want to which a lot of games claim but fail at. I love sniping--this is a "must buy".

Man this game looks good. i wish i could get it but problem is i have no money at the moment but once i do ill probably buy for my Xbox 360 instead of my PS3 since i heard the graphics are better for the 360 since of different sponsors or something(can't remember)

@ ThePowerfulDarknel seems like your the microsoft fanboy.I mean seriously,he said they're both great games,just he prefers Killzone 3 graphics wise,which in my opinion looks a little better than crysis 2 on 360 if you play it in full hd especially,not by very much though.I personally think that uncharted 2 may STILL be the best looking console game to date,although KZ3 may take the cake for its sci fi setting(not t o say this game dont look awesome,too.)Youre the fanboy,and YOU can go cry in a corner you little 40 year old virgin fanboy

@somaliangangsterpuff
you're $ony troll! you're missing a freaking l in my name! your whole comment is weak!! 40 year old virgin? I think I seen that movie before?! and since I'm not a boy. nor 40 years old. you must be thinking of your self!

@XFaided Tip:lern 2 spel b4 u insalt,k?wat da hell a POS3?@ ThePowerfulDarknell,First of all,OH MY GOD,I am SOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY I left out the l in your name master,I'll go ahead and shoot myself now.Second of all,that insult was pretty lame,but what i mean is that he wasnt being a sony fanboy,nor was I being a troll,we just think those games look better than crysis 2 on 360.HE EVEN SAID(or she)that both games were awesome.99.99% of my friends have 360s,and although both consoles are pretty much caught up in awesome exclusives,its been proven ps3 has better hardware.I dont own a 360 myself,not gonna lie,because i wanted to get ps3 because,ps2 is my favorite console and theyre making collections in hd of series such as GOW and Sly,ico and shadow(although im probably not getting it,still cool),and hopefully jak and ratchet,and cause i already played infamous and lbp a little.both are awesome consoles,i just got a ps3,but would love to get a 360 maybe,if just for gears,forza,halo, and L4D.

@ ThePowerfulDarknell,see, your just a biased 360 fanboy.even if you dont agree,you dont do any thing to back yourself up other than call people " $ony fanboy""$ony troll""$ony nut".i have evidence your a fanboy.i think all consoles are awesome(except for gamecube,lol.)

@ Murgurth
this don't have nothing to do with you!! yu're like his boyfriend!
@ somaliangangsterpuff
that dude ( your boyfriend ) only list PS3 only games! and you don't own a Xbox360! THATS my evidence you're both $ony fanboys...and going out with each orther!!!!

I think that IGN heavily bases most of it's first-person shoot reviews on the campaign mode. This is of course an aspect of the game but really how many of us buy a 1PS solely for the (on average) 8 hour campaign mode? IGN needs to start slanting their reviews toward the multiplayer modes. Just my opinion.

@ThePowerfulDarknell,pretty stupid evidence.my friends own 360,and i can only afford one console at the moment,so i chose ps3.both have good and bad points,and awesome games,theyre just different games for different tastes.i would tell you to suck my nuts,but your mom would sue me as a sex offender for saying such a thing to a 2 year old. im gonna end the argument here,rugrat.

Hated the multiplayer. I keep questioning myself if I should by this game, for the campaign. Though, after the story I'm going to want something more to do with it. And let me tell you! The MP is horrible! Don't even sugar coat! IGN says it's a 9, should be an 8 with that MP! You all know it, don't reply to me and say, oh, well it was...NO!!! It was a copy of a copy of a copy! If I wanted to play BBC2, I'd go play it, if I wanted to play COD, I'd go play it! Not going to play cruddy old combo again, like Medal of Honor, oh, how that game failed me too! No one wants to be original. Can't wait till Brink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this game unbelievably disappointing. Chief among my complaints: there are *three enemy types* in the entire game. Human, alien, larger alien, and that's it (someone can call me on this if I'm wrong, but if I am the fact that I don't recall another is enough itself...I do not, for the record, consider "Slightly Redder Alien" to be different from "Slightly Less Red Alien"). There is no final boss battle (in fact there are no boss battles) and the game ends so abruptly I was almost ashamed for the developer. There are vehicles, but overall it feels incredibly barebones for a high budget game in 2011.

These may be the best technical graphics available on any console, but they're utilized by a developer that has no understanding of how to make them meaningful. It feels like Crytek spent all their money making a game with gigantic view distances, but neglected to make an actual game or story around their vistas; in fact, frequently the view distance is SO huge that it becomes significantly longer than the distance at which the AI will attack you...even while being shot over and over again. The gameplay is further hindered by the occasional omnipotence of the nanosuit, especially compared with the constant incompetence of the AI. Crytek has adjusted for this with a technique I haven't seen for a long time, now: infinite spawn points. I enjoy the retro Medal of Honor memories, but it doesn't make up for the laziness.

As for the story, it's as though the developer intentionally challenged themselves to rip off as many popular science fiction stories as possible (particularly War of the Worlds) while making no attempt to string them together. You'd have to try very, very hard to create a less compelling story with such a compelling premise. The cliche characters and over-the-top 1990's quality voice acting detracts from the story more than anything: when I'm in the middle of a firefight I do not need constant cries of "Heeey, maaaan! You gotta help me oooout!" from the worst conspiracy theorist anywhere ever. The presentation hurts it even further. For a fair portion of the game, I was absolutely confused as to why I was running around shooting soldiers who apparently worked for the DoD. I'm a marine, and I need no explanation as to why I'm wasting other humans left and right? Humans that work for the government? What?

Multiplayer features a nanosuit with such reduced powers it occasionally feels pointless to even activate armor mode. This feels closer to being a blatant CoD clone than the unique experience it should have been.

Maybe I should withhold judgement, because I haven't played very far at all in this game yet, but...I'm with ProletarianSean on the Single Player (thus far.)

Last Thursday, I picked up 2 games from the shop: Crysis 2 (2011), and The Elder Scrolls IV: Obvivion (2006): I played Crysis 2 first just to ooh- and aah- at the graphics, because I loves me a good FPS, but the story and set up really turned me off. After an hour or so, I put in Oblivion. For the past 4 days since that moment, Crysis 2 hasn't seen the inside of my 360's disc-drive even once. It's pretty sad when a 5-6 year old RPG game that is more than showing it's age is more engaging that the newest FPS on the block with graphics out the wazoo, but there it is...

I'll give Crysis 2 another try at some point soon, but story is one of the most crucial elements for me in a game, and I can already tell that Crysis's story is ridiculous and with a very poor build-up. That does not bode well...

Let me tell everyone considering this game for its MP, this f'ing game is straight filth, pure unadulterated filth!!!! Oh let's create a game where 95% of the players run around cloaked and completely invisible and it takes 3 clips to drop an enemy. This game has brought our rage in me when playing it's unbalanced wack ass gameplay, it looks fantastic and has potential but the decision to include complete stealth is an epic fail!!! I tried to like this filthy game, another F up by EA IMO
